Tracking issue: #1388

Summary

S1 of the file-write safety series (plan: easonLiangWorldedtech/Zoo-Code#33), part of epic #1375.

Introduces the version tokendev:ino:size:mtimeNs:ctimeNs derived from a single fs.stat in bigint mode — a pure function of a file's on-disk state. Every process that observes the same file state (a second VS Code window, the CLI, the user's own editor) computes the same token. The compare-and-swap write guard (A2/A3) will compare the token observed at read time with the token recomputed before a write to detect "the file changed since the read" (stale) or "the file was replaced by a different file" (dev/ino change).

Changes

  • src/utils/versionToken.ts (new):
    • versionTokenOfStat(stats: BigIntStats): string — pure, zero I/O; exported separately so the exact format is pinned by synthetic-stat tests.
    • computeVersionToken(filePath: string): Promise<string> — one fs.stat; rejects with the underlying ENOENT for absent files (how an unobservable target is treated is decided by the guard layer, A3).
  • src/utils/__tests__/versionToken.spec.ts (new): determinism, exact format pin, distinctness on size/mtime/dev+ino change, exact 1_000 ns delta, size beyond 2^53 (regression), real-file round trip, ENOENT rejection.

Notes

  • No production callers — this is infrastructure for A2 (observation registry) and A3 (guarded write/edit); behavior change is zero.
  • Precision (per CodeRabbit review): the stat is fetched with { bigint: true } (BigIntStats), so all five fields — dev, ino, size, mtimeNs, ctimeNs — are exact BigInt values rendered as decimal strings, with no float involved anywhere. No precision loss for sizes or inodes beyond 2^53 (Windows file IDs included), and the ns timestamps are the kernel's exact nanosecond values (no ms→ns quantization). Guarantee: same disk state → same token (deterministic across processes); any change to size, file identity, or mtime/ctime → a different token. A regression test pins a size of 10^16+1 (> Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER), and the sub-ms test asserts an exact 1_000 ns delta.
  • Net cost when the guard lands: one stat per write check — a disk fact all processes agree on, so no workspace lockfile is needed.

Tests

  • pnpm --dir src exec vitest run utils/__tests__/versionToken.spec.ts → 10/10 passing
  • ESLint clean on both files; suppression counts unchanged.

Introduces the version token - dev:ino:size:mtimeNs:ctimeNs derived from a single fs.stat - a pure function of a file's on-disk state that every process computing from the same state agrees on. The compare-and-swap write guard (A2/A3) will compare the token observed at read time against the token recomputed before a write to detect stale or replaced files. No production callers yet: this is infrastructure for the file-write safety series (plan: #33), part of upstream epic Zoo-Code-Org#1375.
…oo-Code-Org#1375)

Review finding: 'ino is an exact integer' was overstated. Node exposes ino as a float64 number: exact for small POSIX inode numbers, but on modern Windows the file ID exceeds 2^53 so Node's own value is already rounded (verified on node v25: non-zero ino, isSafeInteger=false). It remains deterministic per file (same file -> same token), so the token contract is unchanged; change detection rests on exact dev/size plus the mtime/ctime ns fields. Document the bound instead of claiming exactness.

Zoo-Code-Org#1375)

CodeRabbit finding on this PR: the default numeric fs.stat() loses precision (values above 2^53 are rounded, including Windows file IDs) and the ms->ns derivation introduced a double-precision quantum. Fixed by fetching the stat with { bigint: true }: all five token fields (dev, ino, size, mtimeNs, ctimeNs) are exact BigInt values rendered as decimal strings, with no float anywhere. The sub-ms test now asserts an exact 1_000 ns delta instead of bounded drift, and a regression test pins a size of 10^16+1 (> Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER).
